[opensuse] 15.2 - what changed so now I have to enter root password to shut system down??
All, Been working with 15.2 and I did a minimal desktop install and then added kde3/kdm -- all working fine (a few nits and bugs, but no more than expected) One snag I've hit is that when I choose Logout -> Shut Down, I am prompted to give the root password?? Huh? To shut down?? At first I thought it would be the kdmrc setting of: AllowShutdown=All (which was originally commented and defaulted to root) However after setting AllowShutdown=All (as has been the default for at least 12 years), and rebooting, I am still prompted to give the root password to be able to shutdown... What changed? What is requiring the root password to shut down? I have configured kdmrc to allows All to shutdown so it should not be kdm that is causing the issue. I have a traditional root password as well as my user password. Is this a nanny systemd thing or an apparmor thing (apparmor is running, but it has never caused any problem in the past -- I just don't use it) What asks for root password on shutdown? What to check? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Re: [opensuse-kde] SDDM does not reboot the computer anymore
Thanks Carlos, But I don't have SDDM, I have kdm3. Why should that make a difference? The only kde3 list topic I have re: SDDM is Default SDDM cannot be customized or replaced without KDE4 or Plasma? Something else has changed between 15.1 and 15.2 regarding this prompt for root password on shutdown/reboot. I've never seen this before -- and we know kdm3 hasn't changed? -- David C.

Because the "can't reboot" in the subject line. You go read that thread and decide if it is related to your issue or not. I haven't paid that much attention, but on the outside it looks suficiently similar to your problem that you should read and decide ;-)
Default SDDM cannot be customized or replaced without KDE4 or Plasma?
I have no idea. I use gdm in this laptop, and sddm in my media server. - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

Not related to the post. There is no SDDM involved, but may be related to one of the bugs mentioned several posts deep in the thread. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Did you check PAM settings? PAM is overruling the settings you do inside the different rc. If you run a "secure setting" you will find that you are asked for root password when trying to shutdown. You may copy / paste the settings for shutdown in the pam settings for "easy" profile. See the polkit(8) man page for more information about configuring polkit. I think this is what is happening. But thinking does not say knowing. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I like your thinking -- but alas... No... /etc/sysconfig/security has: SECURITY="easy local" and /etc/pam.d/xdm and /etc/pam.d/login are exactly the same as they were on 15.0 and 15.1 that do NOT have this root password to shutdown or reboot problem... -- David C.

I have also just completed an installation, can't reproduce the issue. (not KDE3 though). Otherwise, from 5-10mins of use - fast, smooth, nouveau works very well. One minor wrinkle, I had to rebuild the initrd, the first boot-up didn't find my root drive. Next, testing my USB headset :-) -- Per Jessen, Zürich (21.9°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free dynamic DNS, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
